Get introduced to the newly released Vaadin Web framework by one of its core developers, Joonas Lehtinen. The Vaadin framework provides a desktop-like programming model on the server for creating Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) in plain Java - without the need for HTML, XML, plug-ins or JavaScript.
In this session, Joonas lays out the key concepts of the server-side RIA development model and gives an overview of server-side frameworks like Vaadin, Echo3 and ZK. To further demonstrate the differences between server-side and client-side RIAs, Joonas compares Vaadin to Google Web Toolkit. He concludes with a step-by-step demonstration of how to get started with the Vaadin framework
